What I draw with

Four ways to put you on paper.

Every commission is worked entirely by hand — no filters, no tracing software. Pick a medium below, or leave it to me based on your photo.

Graphite

Fine, precise pencil work. Best for clean, timeless portraits.

Charcoal

Bold contrast and soft shadow. Suited to dramatic, moody pieces.

Colored Pencil

Layered color for a warmer, painterly finish.

Pen & Ink

Crisp linework with cross-hatched shading. Great for pets and architecture.

Pricing

Simple pricing, sized to fit.

Every piece is original and made to order. Prices below are starting rates — final cost depends on size, subjects, and detail.
